Mary Katrantzou- Fall 2012- Sci-Fi returns

Mary is usually the queen of trompe l’oeil, but this season, she decided to go  more science fiction than the lanai in a Boca retirement home. It had elements of Alexander McQueen’s collection that made the armadillo shoe so popular. You know the one where the models had cable car tracks …
